First Mortgage is an impartial broker that searches the whole of the market. We provide a completely FREE service that guarantees to find the best Homestake mortgage rates.
Homestake is a scheme set up by to help low earners in Scotland get a foot on the property ladder. It works in a similar way to shared ownership deals, helping you buy a property by giving a percentage of the equity to a registered social landlord. Homestake then allows you to buy back the rest of the property when you can afford it. Homestake rates are very reasonable, helping you purchase your first home.
